The BSW Program at University of Wyoming

University of Wyoming's BSW program produced 35 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #193 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

54.6% of students complete their degree, close to the 50.4% median across BSW colleges nationally. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it.

The average student pays $14,872 a year after grants and scholarships, against a national median of $17,795 across BSW colleges. 21.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants. Net price is the number that matters when comparing programs, not sticker tuition — and because most social work roles are with government or nonprofit employers, graduates are typically eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
